Derek Mooney and his team of Showbie aces have clearly demonstrated how to use Showbie well with the pupils. They have provided a range of great tips here but have also provided some brilliant examples :-)

Padlet is a resource that offers great potential, if the teacher can think of a way in which to use it effectively. Its premise is simple: a teacher can create a virtual wall onto which students can place posts. It is similar, therefore, to the classic plenary activity where the ideas of different groups are written on post-its before being added to a poster for later review.

Desperate to stumble upon that one resource of which you have dreamed, but which you have not yet happened upon? There may be a way…

To find the best possible resources and to do as much as possible with as little as possible have always seemed to me to be two essential tenets in teaching. Following these notions is not always easy, or even possible, but the discovery of innovative and unexpected resources and ideas is still something to be striven for. If we should happen to discover a facility that can help in this endeavour, by accident or design, then so much the better.

Many thanks to Raymond Cummings for writing this article based on his personal experiences using the StumbleUpon app to find resources for his class!

Note: StumbleUpon unfortunately doesn't work on the C2K network, but works great from home.
